    Dear Taxi
    Congratulations for so many things!
    Well done on the not smoking! Yesterday was day 1 for me. OH went to see the stop smoking team Yesterday so I decided to be supportive to him as i have been smoking his cigs when I have been stressed which it makes it more difficult for him.

    Well done on the payments too! You have done so well. You should be very proud of yourself. I'm giving myself this month off as I have contributed to funeral costs but have made about £1000 worth of payments off my debt. I'll need to work out my figures soon - once my Internet/phoneline is sorted.

    Hope you are ok.

    Thanks KC
    it's not that bad - I paid for the hall hire for the dinner after the funeral. It saved Dad forking out and it means that each of the siblings have contributed a small amount. It shouldn't put me back too much if I keep myself in check now. I think it'll move my DF date from March to April.

    Thanks all...will be hard to clear much this month as I have fewer earining days.
    Well done on giving up smoking Urg...it'll get a lot easier once the first week is over.I don't blame you taking this month off..it's only a month after all and in the grand scheme of things is no problem.
